this week

@ SUMMIT

In our Advent series The Cast of Christmas we look at “Joseph - a story of obedience.” Not once, but four times, Joseph is given instructions from God and each time he obeys. First he’s told Mary is pregnant, “it’s ok, so don't divorce her.” And then as immigrants fleeing persecution, he goes where God directs him - from Bethlehem to Egypt, and finally to Nazareth. Obedience is not often an easy task, asking quite a bit from us. The question is, are we ready to live a life of obedice to God this Advent Season?

Below are the scripture texts for our time together.

  Matthew 1:18-25

Acts 9:10-18

Daniel 3:8-27

Matthew 2:13-23

Reflection Questions

  1. What one thought or idea stood out to you today?
  2. According to Matthew 1:20 how did the Angel of the Lord appear to Joseph?
  3. If you were in Josephs position, and you knew the baby within Mary was not yours, what would you do?
  4. Reflect upon a time when you were ASKED to do something difficult. What was your first response, and did you follow through with the request?
  5. Why is obedience hard, and does that changed when God asks you to do something?
  6. Activate: This week - reflect upon the Obedience of Joseph in light of difficult decisions - and be grateful for his example this Christmas!
